Q. 2nd May 2008, Andy Partridge announced during a short interview with Mojo, that XTC will be back together before the end of the year and touring for the first time since 1982. This is astonishing news to fans of the band who, whilst knowing that Partridge was speaking to Dave Gregory again, never thought XTC would play live ever again after so many dormant years.


Any weight to the claim?


Kev

A. Well me old Kev, somebody has got some crossed wires going for sure and what a mistake to read anything on Thickipedia. NO,we wont be getting back together again for any purpose in any forseeable future as long as I've still got a hole in my arse.


How do these rumours start? I suppose it's from the same source that gave the world snippets like "Andy wears armour and has a collection of more than 50 bycycles" (which journalists have actually asked me about in all seriousness).


Sleep well. Andy

Hey, That's the answer!

All we gotta do is kidnap Mr P, tie him up, and sew his arsehole shut!

Sweet.

I think he'd rather go back on tour.

Q. Dear Andy,
Is the XTC Forum permanently defunct? Are you fed up with that style of fan interaction?

Would you like to increase the size of your..oops, hang on, that's not a music question. Sorry.
Regards
Keltik

A.Les,Les he wears a fez. Whoops I mean keltik.
The XTC forum is at the menders.It crashed horribly and the company who hosts it for us are frantically trying to get access to all the data inside. To think,years of golden piffle and we cant get to it!

I'm not fed up with fan intercourse but it is a one man job,a certain bass player had to be prodded continuously to get off of his lazy arse and be involved.Now he's content not to do a bloody thing,just leave it all to muggins.

Ah well,its not such a chore and it means I get to have a good healthy rant now and again.

As for the size increase,well yes,but I do understand none of the treatments/tortures are permanent.

Be good.
Andy

What a coincidence! There must be someone in Swindon calling themselves Keltik. Well I never.

I'm sure it was some other Welshman who spells Celtic with a K.
There must be thousands.

Most of 'em can't spell at all, Jeff

that's a teribule slur on a fine nayshun. Inglish bastid.

btw, Interesting to see Andy ready to have a bit of a go at Colin in their local paper. Things must be at the irreparable stage. I guess that new album might take a bit longer than we expected.

Hi Andy !!I guess you have found us here now!!

The *Company* don't seem to be trying all that hard to restore the old forum to be fair.......but I like this forum just as much so I don't mind...but a Rex Rant would be welcome...please feel free to join in!

Really!
The name "Andy Partridge" is still available.

So is 'Rex Random'. Come on, AP, you must be missing us!

Don't trust Thickipedia

Q. Alright, I'll pull the string...

I found this on Wikipedia today: 2nd May 2008, Andy Partridge announced during a short interview with Mojo, that XTC will be back together before the end of the year and touring for the first time since 1982.

This is astonishing news to fans of the band who, whilst knowing that Partridge was speaking to Dave Gregory again, never thought XTC would play live ever agian after so many dormant years.

Any weight to the claim?

Yikes!
I guess Andy can't say it enough.

What's that chord again?
Q. Hello Andy! Jeff Truzzi, from the XTC Forum.
It says here you're at our service, ready and willing to answer any of our music-related questions.

So, what's the second chord of "Holly Up On Poppy"? (The first being D major.) Is it(by any chance) 0.0.0.3.3.0 ?

And since the Idea Forum has gone down go boom, don't you miss usmaybe just a little? We miss you.

Sincerely,
Jeff

A.Jeff,Jeff, he cooks on a NEF.

Of course I know who you are,and isnt it crappy that the XTC forum crashed and DIGITAL FOREST LTD havent fixed it yet,two weeks later.
I bet they'd love some complaining emails,hint hint.Now.down to matters musical.

Yes indeed you have the right chord,you do know that the bottom string is tuned down to D,making alot of those chords easier to get?.

Your transcriptions of my songs is legendary my house over, and I thankyou a million fold for your enthusiasm and skill.

Stay with it.
Andy
